• Start moving again, when you are detected again the lamp will illuminate.
• Repeat the above, walking at various angles and distances to the unit.
This will help you to establish the detection pattern.
Setting up for Automatic Operation
• When the walk tests are complete, the unit can be set up for
automatic operation.
• The TIME setting controls how long the unit remains illuminated following
activation, and after all motion ceases (See diagram “C”).
• The minimum time (fully anti-clockwise) is approx. 5 seconds, whilst the
maximum time (fully clockwise) is approx. 5 minutes. Set the control to the
desired setting between these limits.
• The LUX control determines the level of darkness required for the unit to start
operating. The setting is best achieved by the procedure below (See diagram “C”.
The LUX adjustment knob is indicated by the ‘Moon’ and ‘Sun’ symbols);
1. Set the LUX control knob fully clockwise.
2. When the ambient light level reaches the level of darkness at which you wish
the lamp to become operative (i.e. at dusk) SLOWLY rotate the control in an
anti-clockwise direction until a point is reached where the lamp illuminates.
3. Leave the control set at this point.
• At this position the unit should become operative at approximately the same
level of darkness each evening.
• Observe the operation of the unit. If the unit is starting to operate too early
(i.e. when it is quite light) adjust the control slightly anti-clockwise.
If the unit starts to operate too late (i.e. when it is very dark). Adjust the
control slightly clockwise.
• Continue to adjust until the unit operates as desired.
Masking the Sensor Lens
• To reduce the sensor coverage, preventing detection in unwanted areas, mask
the sensor lens using electricians tape or something similar (see diagram D).
• The top section of the lens covers long range detection, the bottom covers
short range. Similarly the left and right lens sections cover the left and right
detection areas respectively.
